QUICK-REPAIRODEVICE FOR HOLES IN METALLIC HOLLOW WARE.

To aZZ whom it may concern:` y f y Be it known that I, WiLLIAM Ross JONES, subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Manning Road, Double Bay, near Sydney, New South A`Wales, Australia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Quick-Rep`air Device for Holes in Metallic Hollow Ware, of which the followingis anspeciiication.

Toy obviate soldering or brazing metallicI hollow ware to close holes burnt or worn therein it has been already proposed to secure a metal disk at either side` ofthe fault by means of a bolt passed through it, with a packing of cork under one of said disks. This device is objectionable in that the bolt ends protrude, in that the cork packing is ineffective for closing faults in the chime of the vessel, and in that the cork packing soon fails if the vessel be left in a drycon- 4dition on a hot. stove. My invention has primarily for its object the ready repair of worn and faulty culinary and other domestic utensilsby a device which may be fixed quickly, which is not destroyable by stove heat, and which ,does not project substantially at either side of the vessel.

My said device consists of a pair of thin cupped washers made of iron, or tinned iron, with a split fastener which serves to fix said washers together, one on either side 'of the vessel with an iron cement illing inclosed by them covering the fault. The cement soon sets when wetted after the fastener hasbeen closed, and the metal of the faulty vessel and the washers and the fastener are, eectively cemented solidly together so that leakage can no longer take place through the fault. When vthe repair is required 0n the chime of the vessel the washers are bent to adapt them to it; they are made of sufficiently thin flexible metal to facilitate bending. The iron cement used may consist of line iron filings with a small proportion of salammoniac and sulfur. but any known iron cement may be used which is capable of setting and uniting with metal when wetted so as to produce a heat proof insoluble joint.

In the accompanying explanatory drawings, Figure l is a section view' through a repair in a metal plate egected as hereinbefore described. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cover washer showing the split fastener Specification of Letters Patent.

closed;` Fig. 3 is an explodedjsection corre! tion'similar to Fig. l, showing la repair in the chime or' bottom edge of a sheet metal kettle or like domestic utensil. Fig. 5 is a sectional view illustrating the preferred form of the device in which the split fastener is formed of two tongues integral with one of the disks and folded back into said disk, while the other disk is identical with the corresponding part shown in the other figures. All theseviews are exaggerated in dimension to facilitate description; in practice the dimensions of the parts are about one half of the dimensions shown. Referring to Figs. l to 4 A is a hole or fault in a metal sheet, B, Vfor which a repair is required, C is the backing washer, D embossed countersink therein to accommodate the head of the sheet metal split fastener E, F the cover washer, sink therein to accommodate the ends of the fastener E when same are closed as shown in Figs. l, 2 and 4. Both washers are pierced centrally to accommodate the fastener, H is the filling or packing of iron cement inclosed between the washers and the two surfaces of the faulty metal, The washers are cupped sufficiently to carry a sufficient body of cement to make the joint The process of filling and closing the joint is best shown in Fig. 3. To facilitate spreading the fastener legs to close them, they are made of unequal length, as best seen in Fig. 3. When the fastener is closed, its head and its ends set flush in the countersinks, and suilicient cement oozes through the holes in the washers to fix the exposed parts of the fastener tightly to the Washers so that it becomes irremovable in ordinary use and cleaning of the utensil.

Referring to Fig. 5, the split fastener instead of being made separately from the head washeris made integral with it. In cutting the head washer, two tangs are formed integral with it; these are bent back into the` cupped side of the washer as shown G embossed counterat K, and their ends bent upwardly to proready described, passed through the eye ot the backing Washer and Closed down into the countersink therein, the two Washers being rst filled with cement to lute the joint upon which the Washers are secured.

1What claim es my invention and desire to secure by Letters etent is Y l. A quick repair device for holes in metal hollow Ware, comprising two cupped disks of metal adapted to inclose iron cement packing and e sheety metal split fastener projecting ,from yone ot said disks Adapted to be passed through a hole and to be closed into a counte 'sink in the other of said disks.

2. A quick repair device for holes in mete-l hollowY Ware consisting,- of two cupped Washers adopted to hold iron cement luting on Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents the joint end a split fastener adopted'to he closed flush on said Washers to secure them together and embrace said cement over eithery surface adj scent the joint.

3. A quick repair device for holes in metal each, by addressing@ the ommissoner of Patents.
